ABOUT ME

Growing up my life was filled with the magic of books from fun stories to spine tingling teen thrillers to enchanting fantasies like Star Wars and Harry Potter. My professional journey was fueled by my lifelong passion for psychology. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and then a Master’s of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology. Nowadays, my time is taken up with mom duties.

My books and characters have been created with a blend of professional insight and a sprinkle of personal experience all aimed at delighting and educating young minds.

· I became a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in 2003.

· I had a part-time private practice from 2009 – 2016.

· My first book (3 P’s for Potty) was published in July of 2021. I spent a lot of time designing the way Gia and her parents would look by hand drawing all three of them.

· Food is Fun (my second book) was published in April of 2022. This book featured Gia talking about the foods she liked to eat in a rhyming format.

· Are We Friends? (my third book) was published in February of 2023 which introduced two new characters, Xavier and Iris.

· The gift book, I Love Mom, was a book that took some time to collect all of the lovely quotes from children worldwide and select the appropriate images to accompany them. It was completed in the spring of 2023.

· I went back to working as a therapist on two online therapy platforms in 2023.

· The process to create the book The Candies’ Last Stand began in the summer of 2023 but didn’t get completed until the end of 2024 (following year).

· I started a transformational nutrition coaching course in 2024 which focuses on science, psychology, and spirituality.
